I do hate the flower petal missile doors too, but I find all the rest of the mech absolutely gorgeous. Honestly, this Savage Wolf looks much better than the Timberwolf of the book cover. It is more streamlined, aggressive and modern, as you should expect of a Clan mech.

PS: I find the torso of most Timberwolves out there too fat and Catapult-like. I would love something more like this.

To me it actually looks more through back, with stiff industrial joints.
This GUY here has long been my BenchMark for the MiffedKitten


Sleek, Compact, bullet shaped, armed for bear, but obviously agile.
To me the Savage Wolf has a lot of the flaws I feel in Shimmering Sword's Marauder art... just too dang bulky for the mech it's supposed to depict. (Which is why I always say SS' take would make an awesome MAD II). Just my opinion, just feel the Savage look clunky.

It's also the load-out I base my "WarDancer" variant off of, with 2 ER Large, 4 ER Medium, 2 LRM 15 (16 reloads each) and 4 MG. Pretty much a balanced build with good overall heat management, able to react at any range. Also had better battlefield endurance than most stock versions.

The Compendium cover has always been among my favorite BT images. Hugely inspirational.

Taking time off to play. And I need practice quite a bit! Nice to be recognized on the battlefield.

I've got one when I helped Free Skye activists yesterday (believe it or not, it's more or less true story) beat the crap out of Steiners in the right kind of mech.

The only assault mech St.Ives produces is the.... mech n.20 confirmed to be the Victor! Ok, I'm just pulling HF 3 on ya.

If I may be so bold as to make a request...
Would love a southern/rebel themed Cat, (since there's no Bushwacker XD) grey, with the awesome shark mouth and eyes and the Stars and Bars on there somewhere. If you'd rather do another mech that's fine. I like the Cicada and Highlander too. Not to sound picky (I sound picky) but I love writing on the mechs. "Dixie or bust" or "Git R done" or something else appropriate to the theme would be awesome. Red neck it up. ^.^ Also, pretty pretty please.

Blackjack month - 1st Argyle Lancers. Davion insignia by Hayden.

[Adridos]

It's quite sad to see I'm the only one who's seen your art albeit it was posted quite a while ago...

... sorry mods, I have to bump this into the headlight.

Three days left, IH... only three days and we will finally see a new concept art again.

Taurian Guard!

[Adridos]

Nice to see a Taurian mech around here... I think it's even the first one, actually.

[Deadborder]

Anyone willing to do a guy a favour? Not looking for a repaint, but rather a graphic element I could use on one. My skills with perspective are made of suck.

You want a concept art like the "General Lee" of Dukes fame?
And BTW Larry the Cable Guy aka Daniel Lawrence Whitney is a Husker


Whitney resides in Lincoln, Nebraska. He married his wife, Cara, in 2005.
His home town of Pawnee City, Nebraska has a street named after him. Whitney also donated money to buy new theatrical equipment for the local high school.^[12]
He is an avid Nebraska Cornhuskers fan and his signature camouflage hat has the University of Nebraska-Lincoln college football team name "HUSKERS" emblazoned on it.He is also frequently seen with a gold Nebraska "N" on a chain around his neck.

Lord, I apologize if I hurt that young mans feelings, I wuz just keeping it real

How dare I not research where Mr. Whitney is from and what sports teams he likes before using a common quote I didn't even consider originated with him when I casually requested a re-paint?!? *Curses self.* Would you like me to edit out "Git r done?" X) But yes, like the General Lee. Though, like I said, I thought it would look better grey than orange. I think it would be cool. o.o

P.S. You hurt my feelings. I'm going to go kill myself now. I'll get over it.

Sir, it has been 3 days and I have no new concept art to feast upon... I suggest you fire and replace your intelligence personnel.

I know.

Intelligence personnel went above and beyond their field of duty just to get that info and were fooled by the enemy liar... there's nothing they could do without the right equipment.

my apologies to all for my inappropriate posting comments on anothers request.

This thread is for the posting of art and appreciating the same.
my bad.
I like the upbeat mood of this thread. The jaw dropping beauty you guys (and gals) infuse into the images is amazing to me.
Keep up the good work and don't forget this thread when they finally let the rest of us in on the clans.

No need to apologize for anything I wasn't offended. I didn't mean to sound like I was.

In any case I don't think my wish will be granted. X'(

Have a little faith. A General Lee paintjob on the battlefield would be a thing of beauty.
